Time flies

When I saw this image from Mo's Digital Pencil, I was immediately reminded of my younger cousin who very much resembled this as a toddler. She's all grown up now, married and a nurse in a VA. So proud of who she is now, but I can't help but miss the little girl she was!

Notes: I've had questions about the supplies I use these days… Like many of you I am "shopping my stash" and using what I have on-hand. Where applicable, I'll link to any currently available Stampin' Up! products.

Hi everyone! Today I'm thrilled to share two beautiful cards created by Stacy McCain, a Demonstrator in Boise, Idaho. Not only are the cards pretty, but I love that she chose to share two different ideas using the same stamp set. It's always good when a stamp set lends itself to different ideas, right?

Also uses Softly Falling TIEF (textured impressions embossing folder)

Sparkly details: Iced Rhinestone Embellishments (center of snowflake) along with Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum. The Silver Glimmer Paper and Basic Jewel Rhinestones can be found in our Annual Catalog.

As stated above, both cards use our Holiday Catalog stamp set Flurry of Wishes. And if you like coordinating products, then you'll be happy to know that this photopolymer set coordinates with the Snow Flurry Punch. Purchase the two together in a bundle and you'll save 15%.

At our monthly Club Meeting today, we will be creating a card using the always popular stamp set Lovely As A Tree. I chose this stamp set in my starter kit almost nine years ago and am happy to say that it is still available and still lovely. This card was inspired by a direct-to-paper technique demonstrated by Michelle Zindorf at this year's convention (officially called Inspire. Create. Share).

For more ideas using this stamp set, you'll want to check out The Stamp Review Crew blog hop featuring this set. Many of the projects shared on the hop are projects that were shared at the recent Stampin' Up! convention. Our Crew was selected to share projects on an idea board; we chose to share projects using only Lovely As A Tree (a classic favorite) and Flower Patch (a new favorite). The blog hop for Flower Patch will take place this coming Monday (July 28). Rescheduled for Monday, August 4th.

Welcome to a blog hop by the Stamp Review Crew where we are sharing projects created using the ocean themed set, Seaside Shore. If you're already following the hop, that means you have just arrived from Ann's blog. Her projects are always so wonderfully detailed; a true gift to the eye! (If you're starting on my blog... welcome! You can follow the links at the bottom of each post to the other 9 stops.)

My first project uses just one image from the stamp set - the line of dots.

Yes, out of all those images I only chose one! Truth is, I'm working on a stack of cards to be donated to an organization that mails cards out to kids in hospitals. The cards need to mail easily and not include any embellishments that could cause harm. So, wanting to include birthday cards, I simply stamped the dots in rows using different ink colors from our Brights collection to imitate a brightly wrapped gift.

Next, I drew on the ribbon lines then added an image (from Happy Birthday Gorgeous) …
